A Girl and Her Guardian

The Earth is dying. The goddess Onatah is the world’s last hope and only a young girl named Sarah can bring her back to life. Yet Sarah is not alone on her journey. Her Guardian, Jonathan, watches over her as they search for Onatah’s sanctuary on their quest to restore the Earth from the shadow that has stolen it.

A Girl and Her Guardian is Andrew Cannizzaro’s thesis film made in partnership with New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. The film is a live-action fantasy/adventure short filmed entirely on location in the woods of New Paltz, NY. Shot over a six day period where a cast and crew made up of students and industry professionals worked tirelessly to bring this fantastical setting to life. Our story is a glimpse into a different world. A look at one of the final chapters of another Earth. Our hope is that this tale will intrigue your mind and capture your imagination.
